“…The second section of the questionnaire collected information about the visitors' expenditure patterns. The literature review has shown that visitors attending festivals usually spend money on admission fees, food and beverages, lodging, shopping, entertainment, and transportation (Crompton, 1979;Gartner & Holecek, 1983;Ryan, 1998). However, taking into consideration the logistics of the 9th CHCF (e.g., free admission, parking areas quite distant, audience mostly local), the respondents were required to report their festival expenditures in five categories: (1) food and beverages consumed at the festival, (2) food and beverages taken away, (3) goods and gifts other than food and beverages, (4) entertainment, and (5) other (s).…”

Given the increasing socio-economic significance of food festivals, this study examines the characteristics of visitors to the Hefei Crawfish Festival in Hefei city, Anhui province, China, along with the determinants of their festival expenditure. Specifically, the study examines correlations among festival spending patterns and the visitors' event-related motivations, food-related motivations, and food involvement levels. Using a Tobit model, the research suggests overall that visitors' total or foodrelated expenditures at the festival were not associated with their overall scores on event-related or food-related festival motivations, and visitors' spending during the festival had negative correlations with their overall food involvement scale scores.

“…Therefore, it is not surprising to see that the number of conceptual and empirical studies on festivals and special events has been increasing rapidly (Backman, Backman, Uysal, & Sunshine, 1995;Crompton & Mckay, 1997;Formica & Murrmann, 1998;Formica & Uysal, 1998;Gartner & Holecek, 1983;C. kim, Scott, Thigpen, & kim, 1998;Mohr, Backman, Gahan, & Backman, 1993;Nicholson & Pearce, 2001;Schneider & Backman, 1996;Scott, 1996;Thrane, 2002;Uysal, Backman, Backman, & Potts, 1991;Uysal, Gahan, & Martin, 1993;Uysal & Gitelson, 1994;Walo, Bull, & Green, 1996).…”

The Dragačevo Trumpet Festival (DTF) in Guča (the Republic of Serbia) is a unique competition of folk brass bands in the world and one of the most important events of overall national creativity and cultural amateurism in Serbia. The article delivers the results of a questionnaire research conducted during the 50th anniversary of the DTF in Guča in August 2010. The results were based on 300 questionnaires. There are two purposes of the research: to identify the underlying dimensions of motivation for visitors attending ethno music festivals, using a factor analysis, and to explore the differences between attitudes of the respondents of different gender and age structure. The factor analysis generated four factors: Festival Perception and learning, Exploration of Festival Program and Atmosphere, Psychophysical Welfare, and Socialization. The respondents rated the factor Exploration of Festival Program and Atmosphere the highest, followed by Festival Perception and learning, Psychophysical Welfare, and Socialization. The results of the t test showed that female respondents rated Psychophysical Welfare and Socialization significantly higher compared to male respondents. Analysis of variance tests demonstrated statistically different respondents' ratings of extracted factors with regard to age group of the respondents.

“…Many studies related to festivals focus on: (1) host community reactions (Fredline & Faulkner, 2000), (2) hallmark and major events (Hall, 1992;Lee, 2000), (3) economic impacts (Gartner & Holecek, 1983;Kim, Scott, Thigpen, & Kim, 1998), (4) residents' attitudes and perceptions (Jeong & Faulkner, 1996), and (5) perceived crowding of a festival experience (Lee & Graefe, 2003). However, very few studies related specifically to aboriginal cultures have been undertaken.…”
